Get ready for some extra cash this November! Beneficiaries of the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program in the United States will be receiving not one, but three SSI payments within the month. This unusual event is due to the calendar’s unique rhythm, resulting in double and even triple payments for recipients.
The first November SSI payment will arrive on November 1, as usual. However, the second payment will arrive on Wednesday, November 27, and the third, which is actually the December SSI payment, will land on November 29. This means that the December payment will be received two days early due to December 1st being a Sunday.
Looking ahead to 2025, the SSI payment schedule takes on an interesting pattern. Due to New Year’s Day falling on a Wednesday in 2025, the first payment will be delivered on December 31, 2024. The February payment will then arrive on January 31, 2025, and the March payment on February 28, 2025. This means there will be no SSI payments in March 2025.
Another double payment scenario arises in May 2025, with recipients receiving the May payment on May 1 and the June payment on May 30. As a result, there will be no SSI payments in June 2025. Similarly, August 2025 will see double payments on August 1 for August and August 29 for September, meaning no SSI payments will be disbursed in September 2025.
Staying informed about these variations in the SSI payment schedule can help recipients plan their finances and budget accordingly. So, make sure to mark your calendars for these double and triple payments and enjoy the added financial cushion!
